i weak.

Missed the 24klick and POP at BMT, had stomach flu. Lost about 4kg in one week. By the remarch came back, still on MC. First time in my life, had minimal abdominal fat haha

 

I did the 32klick at sispec, that was mother shack man, walking around at 4am in reclaimed land... even the instructors were shack.

 

The 24 at MOCC was also shack. I couldn't raise one of my legs after that. Sprained one of my deep hip flexors somewhere along the way.

That time old liao.

 

Really admire the warrants, damade 40+ year old still walk and walk.

I walked 24 , 36 , 50 , 72 klick just for training . Hahha after 72 everyone walked like tua lanpa for whole wk hahaha

This formed a bulk of my NS memories..

 

Other than that, some memories are my 72klick navigation exercise with fullpacks half my weight and the combat survival training in command camp, literally "ate snake" with our mess tins and kena "special" POW tekan by MIU. Also witness how they go all out to whack the SOF trainees...whack as in physically whack!

 

I heard the 72klick is now reduced to 32pluck and only half day exercise. And the POW exclude water dunking liao due to someone died.

 

Last but not least, the sense of responsibility weighting on the 21 years old version of me after my team of 4 was deployed 40+klicks away from my hq via uh1h in the Aussie jungle, without comms established and then I heard wild boars and have no live rounds.

With so many safety regulations in place, soldiers cant sit like these on top of the bridges anymore.

the sight of this can bring back the nightmares

It was the second phase of our course and we need to spend one month in Brunei Jungle.

 

We were into our second week of non-stop training in the jungle and it was pitch dark (you can't see you fingers if you lift it up in front of you).

 

Everyone was worn-out as we were climbing this hill and suddenly one of our guys asked, "Wu Beh Tui Bor?"

 

Nobody bothered to respond as we were to shacked.

 

Then he asked again, "Wu Beh Tui Bor?"

 

Getting very agitated by his incessant "barking"; I replied, "Gu Lan jiu wu!! Beh tui Bor!"

PS - This guy is a Teochew and he was asking for batteries. In his unique teochew accent, he sounded like he was asking for horse's dick http://www.mycarforum.com/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/laugh.gif

I'm forever thankful for my 2 years with the blues besides the 6 mths in green...

 

During that tenure, often came across various army units n just couldn't imagine the life with any of them.

 

CE - 1 truck load of men, 3 truck load of equipments. Still have to spend half a day to dismantle equipments after exercise cut.

 

Foot soldiers - walked for 7 days to find our leftover night snacks as sumptuous delicacies.

 

Armour troopers - cramped inside the M113 covered with dusts under the bloody hot sun for days without a single showers.

 

That's why those in green earn my highest respect for their sweats n endurance...less the ah boy who got the domestic helper with the backpack.

Ns.

 

Always nightmare when you are in it. Good memories when you are out of it.

 

Come to think of it, I actually enjoyed digging trenches quite a lot. It was quite satisfying when I completed the 84mm RR trench with my buddy.

Doc...happy new yr to you and the rest of the bros.

Dont say Guards, I served as an infantryman back in the mid 80s and the 72km is part of the training before ROC. From Tuas to Lower Pierce in 3 days, see the route in the map i go gong gong, full of up and down and maciam your heart machine read out! Lucky no have the parade like the guards units tradition but we dash the last 100m to the waiting tonner. Reached camp had a good sleep, woke up for lunch but found out my heels were aching and had to walk funny eventhough i was wearing our jogging shoes! Not sure if it was part of infantry training package but can tell you many dropped out due to fatigue and had to redo the march!
